Reply to "How Moving The Draft Would Impact College & High School Baseball"

Nothing will change if MLB reduces the number of draft rounds. The same criteria will still be used: does a player have a projectable MLB tool.

You need to look no further than the NFL or NBA which have also reduced their drafts. Both these leagues simply sign, as Free Agents, all the players needed who meet their respective criteria.

Teams with better scouts will sign better free agents. (As it is, teams sign approximately 35 draftees plus a significant number of FA.)

Mike Ford was a FA signee. He hit double digit HRs this year for the Yankees.

Virtually every single DESERVING baseball player worldwide is found.

MiLB Cities with sub-par stadiums are probably toast. 

The new proposed system will provide MILB players with far better and more consistent instruction (which leads to more rapid improvement), better facilities, access to better athletic trainers, better nutrition, etc.
